"fuck. you."
my nose scrunched and eyes narrowed as i threw expletives his way with vexation and a bit of spit. i burned like a raging wildfire as i watched him smirk and slowly lean his upper body down to almost, but not quite, meet me at eye leve...

"if i showed you my soul, would you cover your eyes? if i told you the truth, would you dare me to lie?" the seasoned voice of the lead singer of the last band on our lineup for the night layered over the almost deafening, collective sound of the instrumentalists playing around him. cc and i were stood in the wide hallway connected to the backstage area, the sound of the show carrying itself all the way down to where we were and beyond.
"do you wanna try to get the guys together and go do something tonight?" my longtime friend cut out of our small talk about how we thought our set had gone and changed the subject. "i feel we haven't seen shit in any of the stops yet. gone out anywhere or anything." he spoke in choppy sentences as his arms crossed over one another.
"i don't know, man." i replied, knowing he was right, but trying not to show on my face just how little interest i had in going anywhere past midnight besides a dark, silent room with a mattress. "i think i'm just gonna turn in." as true as what i replied with was, i was not willing to take the risk of 'the guys getting together' somehow turning into a group outing with anyone else outside of my immediate circle; specifically certain members of certain bands.
"agh." he scoffed in response, tossing his arms over one another and leaning against the grey wall. "we're getting old, dude."
"don't remind me." a small grin fell on my lips at the sound of his frustration. "the bunk beds in that fuckin' bus are breaking my spine. i don't think i've ever been so excited to sleep in a hotel bed in my life." i said, earning a laugh from cc before his tone completely shifted with a turn of his neck down the hall.
"oh, uh." a smirk formed in the corner of his mouth as he let his head hang down and away from whatever he'd just seen. "don't look now."
"what?" my curiosity overtook my ability to even attempt to listen to his warning, letting my eyes wander down the hallway where he told me not to look.
a short, feminine figure was slowly making her way down the long hall leading to the backstage, her details slowly becoming more obvious as she came closer; her ghostly pale skin, her platinum blonde hair all the way down to her hips, her green eyes under the synthetic ceiling lights.
just my luck.
"jesus christ." i immediately turned away, eyebrows furrowing as cc stifled his laughter at the instant change of my demeanor. "five fucking minutes of peace around here for once would be great."
